Let Me Clear My Throat! From Overnight Scenario - to Jilly from Philly "It's Love" to Doin' The Butt.... We're going to throw back the goodies while throwing out ya back! For those who are unfamiliar, go-go is a soulful, percussive groove that has, for over a half-century, represented the city’s style and flavor worldwide. The music is a soundtrack to African-American life in The District, which is a population that has drastically dwindled over the past 15 years, due to a population shift that has seen the city become radically younger and whiter. Go-go is, as noted by DJ Kool, D.C.’s heritage. But, given both go-go’s history and the demographic history of Washington, D.C., where George Clinton christened the then-70% Black area “Chocolate City” on a 1974 Parliament single, it is Black music, too. DC’s official music will always be Go-Go, because there is no DC without Go-Go and there is no Go-Go without DC!”

Come out and represent a cultural and historical examination of the Black dandy, from fashion to music. Explore the importance of sartorial style to the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora extremely devoted to style and approaches it as a discipline. Dandyism offered Black people an opportunity to use clothing, gesture, irony, and wit to transform their given identities and imagine new ways of embodying political and social possibilities. These narratives through music and style offer a history and description of Black dandyism as a discrete phenomenon that reflects broader issues of power and race in the Black diaspora.
